Yes, these repeated messages are quite difficult to find until you
run your program through gdb and pass in the "--g-fatal-warnings" argument
to "run". That is:
$ gdb packbox
(gdb) run --g-fatal-warnings
...
Instead of printing a screen full of warnings, it'll stop close to
where the problem is and you can do a backtrace to locate the problem.
Quite effective and has worked every time for me so far!
I ran your code under v1.3.x and got a segmentation fault instead.
Noticed one problem with your code. You probably should get a return
value to gvk_vbox_new. That is, replace:
gtk_vbox_new(FALSE,0);
with:
box = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE,0);
I think that's your only problem, but I'm not sure. Good luck!
